Moyano: Cristina-Macri talks show lack of convictions

The leader of the General Workers' Confederation (CGT) Azopardo faction, Hugo Moyano, has criticised recent co-operation between President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and City mayor Mauricio Macri, opining that the pair have demonstrated a lack of political conviction in their collaboration.

CFK and Macri appeared together last week in the opening of Facebook's Argentina office, where the head of state revealed that her political adversary had visited her personally to discuss a rise in the income tax floor.

A subsequent deal to move the ex-ESMA building into national jurisdiction even led some opposition figures to claim a pact had been struck between the government and the City administration.

"This clearly shows the political class we have. If this occurs, evidently it is pretty difficult to know what could happen in country over the coming years," Moyano fired today in reference to the dialogue between Macri and CFK.

"This clearly shows a lack of convictions."

Speaking to Radio La Red, the union leader questioned the improved relationship between the two, asserting that "these gentlemen that are in government now supported the politics of the 90s [under Carlos Menem] and were accomplices in those policies.

"Now they are all against them, they see themselves as the nation's founders," he maintained.

The Justicialist Party (PJ) was another target of Moyano's ire.

"They have a bit of everything, except for peronism," he slammed.

"Nobody is talking about crime. Only a few politicians are talking about that. Nobody talks about inflation, the alarming poverty we have. The only thing they do is organise to keep themselves in the [party] offices.

"[The PJ authorities] are all sycophants, suck-ups, all of them," Moyano asserted.

The Camioneros leader will take to the Plaza de Mayo tomorrow alongside CGT Blue chief Luis Barrionuevo, in a protest convened by the unionists against crime in Argentina.
